The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 35

“Where is it not enough?!” The little fox immediately flared up. “I did take your stuff, but it was just to cause trouble. Who the hell cares about your lousy spiritual herbs? Do you think I’ve never seen anything good?”

The little fox leaped onto Guo Jian, raked his face with a claw, leaving three bloody scratches that thoroughly disfigured Guo Jian. The little fox was fast. After scratching him, it immediately jumped down, ran to Jiang Luoyue, raised its dirty paw, and looked at her, as if signaling for her to clean it. At least, that’s the emotion Jiang Luoyue read.

She sighed and dutifully squatted down, pulling out a clean handkerchief to wipe the little fox’s paw. After Jiang Luoyue released its paw, the little fox even brought its paw to its nose to sniff, as if checking to ensure it was clean enough.

“This little fox is quite fussy. In this tense atmosphere, it still has the presence of mind to ask someone to wipe its paws,” Li Changting muttered softly. The little fox’s ears were sharp. Hearing his murmur, it glared at him, puffed up with anger.

Guo Jian’s face was awful. Blood was trickling down his cheek. He raised his hand and gently touched his face; it hurt terribly. It was a testament to his control that he didn’t immediately scream.

“You, this, damned, fox!” Guo Jian utterly detested this cursed fox and wished he could hack it to death immediately.

Just as Guo Jian drew his sword, the people on both sides quickly drew theirs in unison. Jiang Luoyue and Yue Wenqiu unleashed the pressure unique to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. The cultivators from the Lin family couldn’t withstand it and were forced to their knees. Fortunately, this pressure was only aimed at the Lin family. The Song family members just felt weak-kneed but felt they could endure it without kneeling.

After the pressure dissipated.

“Who… who are you?” Guo Jian had no idea when such a formidable cultivator had appeared in the Song family. Why would someone at the Nascent Soul Stage stay in an aristocratic family as a bodyguard instead of cultivating in a sect? Doesn’t that feel stifling? Wait, this woman and the man beside her were standing with Song Weiyuan.

“I am merely a rogue cultivator,” Jiang Luoyue said.

“I am Yue Wenqiu of the Eastern Yue Sect,” Yue Wenqiu exuded nobility, his aura naturally different from the group around him. “Tell me, if I were to have tea and a chat with Young Master Yun, would the Western Cloud Sect abandon the Lin family, or would the Lin family execute you?”

Guo Jian saw the man who was warm moments ago now had cold eyes, though a smile still played on his lips. Guo Jian couldn’t help but shiver. He immediately rummaged through his storage pouch, took out everything inside, and offered it to the little fox with both hands. “Great Fox Lord, I return it to you.”

The little fox didn’t understand human social graces, but since he was returning it, it wasn’t going to be polite. It raised its paw, and all the items were collected by it. Guo Jian nearly cried out. I should have taken the money and scrammed earlier; at least I would have swindled some cash.

“Fine,” The little fox was quite pleased with the address, “Great Fox Lord.” Its tail wagged proudly behind it. “I forgive you.” The little fox tossed out an Essence Nourishment Pill. “Take this. I scratched you, which was impulsive of me. This is my apology.”

Jiang Luoyue couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. This little fox is a bit too reasonable, a bit too… naive and sweet.

“Alright, this matter is settled,” Song Weiyuan rubbed his forehead, headache evident.

“Thank you for your generosity, Young Master, thank you for your generosity,” Guo Jian showed his ability to bend and endure. He kowtowed a few times to Song Weiyuan and scurried away with the rest of the Lin family cultivators.

Song Weiyuan sighed and looked at the little fox in Jiang Luoyue’s arms. “When did you get a spiritual beast?”

“I told you, I am not her contracted spiritual beast,” the little fox turned its head, not wanting to be touched by someone who looked down on it. Song Weiyuan was surprised. He thought the little fox was just refusing to admit it to evade responsibility. Turns out it really wasn’t a contracted spiritual beast.

“Then where did you come from?” Song Weiyuan looked at the little fox’s arrogant little expression, finding it amusing.

“I was being chased that day, and I happened to see that group of cultivators. They had some treasures, but I didn’t care for them,” the little fox grumbled. “I stole their things and tossed them to another group of nearby cultivators. Then, when they started fighting, my pursuers happened to pass by and got caught up in it. My pursuers have high cultivation and weren’t afraid of these aristocratic family bodyguards, but I figured I’d buy myself a second.”

“They don’t attack unrelated people, so they just waved their hands and cast a spell to make everyone faint for a quarter of an hour, and then they continued to chase me. I happened to run into Jiang Luoyue, and I latched onto her.”

Everyone was a little speechless upon hearing this.

“What is your background, and why are you being chased?” Song Weiyuan frowned. Jiang Luoyue could ignore it, but he couldn’t. If it brought trouble to the family, it wasn’t something they, the younger generation, could handle.

The little fox’s eyes darted around. It shrunk into Jiang Luoyue’s arms, almost wanting to bury its head in her chest to avoid the questioning. It was silent for a long time before finally explaining. “My situation is similar to Jiang Luoyue’s. My father was killed, and my uncle, who wants to seize my father’s position as family head, has been chasing me. My guard was separated from me, which is why I ended up in this situation.”

Sensing their silence, the little fox became even more nervous. “I promise not to cause you any trouble. My external injuries have healed, but I was poisoned. As soon as my cultivation recovers, I will leave immediately.”

Jiang Luoyue felt the little fox’s body subtly trembling. The little fox’s plight was indeed identical to her own initially. Regardless of how much fact it was omitting, at least seventy percent of the little fox’s words were true. Jiang Luoyue gently stroked the little fox’s back fur, comforting it. “It’s alright, I believe you,” her tone was gentle.

The little fox raised its head, its big eyes wet and watery. Seeing Jiang Luoyue firmly believe in it, it spread its paws and hugged her neck. “Wuwu!”

Jiang Luoyue patted its body. The little fox must have grown up under its father’s care to be so innocent and adorable, without much cunning. The others couldn’t help but be moved. Song Weiyuan even felt a bit guilty. He shouldn’t have pressured the little fox, causing the little guy to cry.

“There, there, Little Fox, stop crying,” Jiang Luoyue laughed. “Are you three years old? So prone to crying.” The little fox was a little embarrassed. It was actually over two hundred years old, older than the men around Jiang Luoyue. This was the first time it had shown such a vulnerable side. I’m usually so strong, okay?

However, in its fox form, acting cute was acceptable. It was already skilled at acting cute to beg for food, anyway. If it were in human form, he would definitely not be crying in the arms of a delicate woman like Jiang Luoyue.

The little fox let go of her. After composing itself, it reverted to being the noble little fox.
